 THE M/C WHICH IS USED TO STITCH FABRIC

OR OTHER MATERIAL TOGETHER WITH
THREAD
 TYPES OF SEWING M/C

1. MANUALLY OPERATED SEWING M/C

2. ELCTRICALLY OPERATED SEWING M/C
 Let’s Learn About the parts of
sewing machine

 This presentation will show you pictures

of the part and the Name of the part,
followed by a definition of the part’s
function
Sewing Machine
1. Reverse Lever
The reverse lever allows you to stitch in
reverse. We use reverse to make our
stitches secure at the beginning and end of
seams.
2. Pattern Selector
The pattern selector lets you determine
what kind of stitch you will be making,
such as straight stitches or an
embroidery stitch or zig-zag.
3. Stitch Length
Stitch length determines the length of the stitch.
Stitch length range 0-4 mm.
Average stitch length 2.5mm.
Typical stitch width range 0-5 mm.
Stitch width is needed for zig-zag stitch
4. Bobbin Winder
The bobbin winder winds the thread from
the spool to the bobbin, mechanically.
5. Spool Pin
Spool pin holds the spool of thread.
6. Thread Tension
7. Pressure Dial
The pressure dial determines
how much pressure the presser
foot will have on the fabric.

More pressure may be needed for

light weight fabrics, and less
pressure for heavy, or thick
fabrics.
8. Face Plate
The face plate is a cover that covers all the
inner working parts of the sewing
machine.
9.Check Spring Holder
The check spring holder is actually
hidden in our machines. It works with
the thread tension to slow down the
amount of the thread going to the
needle.
10. Sewing Light
The sewing light helps you to thread the
needle and to see your stitching; both day
and night.
11. Feed Dogs
Feed dogs are a “teeth-like”part.The basic function of
the feed dogs is to move the fabric forward by a
distance equal to the stitch length.
12. Throat Plate
The throat plate is a static component which
has slots for the feed dogs and a slot for
sewing needle for zig-zag stitch. The upper
surface of the throat plate is highly polished.
13. Slide Plate
The slide plate is a clear plastic
cover that covers the bobbin case to
keep dust and dirt out of the
moving parts area of the bobbin
case.
14. Presserfoot
The presserfoot holds the fabric against the feed
dogs; so the feed dogs can pull your fabric
through the machine.
15. Needle Clamp
The screw that tightens to hold the
needle in place, and loosens when
you want to change the needle.
16. Presserfoot Lifter
The presserfoot lifter gently lifts the
presserfoot up and lowers it against the
feed dogs.

Note: the presserfoot must be lowered

before you begin to sew; or fabric will
not move through the machine!
17. Take-Up-Lever
The take-up-lever pulls the thread back after
each stitch, so that the stitches will lay evenly
into the fabric.
18. Hand wheel
The main purpose of a hand wheel on a
sewing machine is to slowly raise the needle
by hand. This gives you control to position
fabric under the needle.
20. Power Switch
The power switch turns on the power on the sewing
machine and also turns off the power, electrically.
21. Power Socket
The power socket connects the power
source to the sewing machine.
22. Foot Pedal
The foot pedal operates the speed of the
sewing machine, electrically.
23. Thread Cutter
The thread cutters cut the threads at the end of a
row of stitching to disconnect your fabric from
the sewing machine.
These are the main parts of a sewing machine.
